Oh Blackburn's all changed.
I caught the bus home from school every day, and even I'm lost there now.
You can get to a massive supermarket diresctly off the Boulevard/Railway Road.
There are still some bus stops there, but also many are on Ainsworth Street...under the shopping mall.
There are bus stops near the station in Accrington, for the few that might be using both modes of transport.
I suspect the majority of bus users who come into Accrington, do so to shop...in the dwindling places we have left, and which will be even fewer, if the bus station is moved further away from the town centre.
